The Insurance Industry Charitable Foundation reported that a record-breaking 8,577 insurance industry volunteers from 76 cities across 30 states provided over 25,000 hours of service to nonprofits during the foundation's Week of Giving.
The foundation's program, held this year from Oct. 10-17, brings insurance industry professionals together for a week-long series of volunteer projects and events. The projects are designed to allow industry volunteers the opportunity to give back to the local communities in which they live and work.
“It is in the nature of the insurance industry to help,” said Bill Ross, the foundation's CEO. “By volunteering, I think we put a face to the industry. You get a chance to meet those individuals who represent the industry directly and by giving back, I think in the collective effort, we’re able to kind of raise our visibility of the industry and of the individuals who make up the industry.”
